Nov 7, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Comme à la maison Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans ce magnifique pigeonnier restauré et décoré avec beaucoup de goût. Nous nous sommes sentis comme à la maison tellement c'était propre et bien équipé. Le pigeonnier allie la chaleur d'une décoration délicieuse et cosy, le charme d'un poêle à l'ancienne avec la modernité de la cuisine ou la salle de bain. C'est encore plus beau que sur les photos. La couverture en laine de la chambre à coucher est juste à tomber par terre. Nous avons passé de longs moments à profiter de la vue, juste indescriptible, apaisante, magique. Nous avons vu des biches sur le champ d'en face. Les poules nous ont tenu compagnie tout le long du séjour, c'était vraiment très drôle et agréable. Les échanges avec Laetitia étaient parfaits alors qu'elle était en vacances, lorsque nous avons demandé le séjour. Notre accueil a été parfait, tout était impeccable et nous avons autant apprécié la bonne bouteille de vin dégustée au coin du poêle que le joli mini-bouquet de fleurs champêtres posé à côté et complété par un joli petit savon sentant délicieusement bon. De très bons conseils sur le classeur très complet et utile. Nous avons testé le bon boucher et le bon pain de Puylaroque que nous vous recommandons ;) ##### idoia i.
